[QUOTE="chels, post: 242433, member: 6796"] Sheila - Thanks for the link. From what I'm reading, it seems his are tantrums (if extreme ones) because they are goal-directed. The website states a rage is not goal-directed and happens without warning. He will continue to throw the tantrum in an attempt to get what he wants. He continues them if I'm not in the room (though he does his best to make sure I see the tantrum), and shutting him in his bedroom is not entirely effective because he knows I'm still in the house. I can usually predict his tantrums, as they are almost always the result of his not getting his way. However, one interesting thing I read on the site is that people who have these rages tend to have them at home and have fine, if not excellent, behavior at school or in other social settings. This is definitely like my son (though he is known to have outbursts at his grandparents' houses). I'm definitely going to put this on my list of things to talk to our pediatrician about. Thank you.
